Ep 198Episode 219: DIVOC updates, long haulers, and censorship
Here we are 1 year in and we know a lot more than we did from our last official coverage in February.

Ep 174Episode 195: Flatten the Fear and Cracking the Carnivore Code with Guest Dr. Paul Saladino
In light of the current pandemic, so much of the current narrative is focused on fear, increasing case counts and the ambiguous calls to flatten the curve by means of lockdown, social distancing and universal mask wearing.
